#michael yew/jake mason

[thestarstoasun]

I need the Michael Yew brainrot, just him shooting Luke and yelling at Lee like "why the hell do you keep fucking that?!"

Please tell me about this AU, I'm completely normal and sane about TA Lee

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I IMAGINE WHEN I THINK OF THEM.

○ When Lee first brought his siblings to the darkside - sometime during SoM while Percy & co are on their quest - Michael literally slaps him across the face when he tells them they aren't going on a camp field trip, but going to join the titan army.

Michael: "I know you're stupid, but I hoped there was a brain in that head somewhere."

Lee, smiling and holding his bow: "Luke is well aware what will happen if any of you so much as get a scratch. Kronos himself won't be spared."

Kayla: "So- no field trip? What a bust! You have to get us snacks to make up for this utter betrayal!"

Austin: "Yeah!"

Will: "I'm just happy to to wherever Lee is"

• Michael, Will, Lee, Austin, and Kayla go back to CHB as infiltration & basically recruitment sects. There was a lot of Leeluke debate about this because of the involvement of Lee's siblings.

• You know Gods send dreams to demigods and mortals? Kronos does this to Lee whenever Luke starts to be insufferable

• Luke slowly actually "corrupts" Lee to the cause by pointing out actually valid points

• Michael is absolutely insufferable on all fronts about this arrangement. He literally can't believe he's been dragged into the titan army all because he's an apollo kid & Lee has attachment issues.

• Michael is very on-the-fence about being in the TA and has a crush on Jake Mason - he won't admit it, but everyone but Jake knows.

• Luke tries very hard to get along with Michael, and meanwhile Michael is flipping him off, making the most passive aggressive comments known to man, rolling his eyes, whole 9 yards

Luke: "WILL YOU STOP SHOOTING AT ME!? I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING!"

Michael perched on a lamppost, glaring: "You're literally the reason I'm here right now."

Luke: "I wanted my amazing partner. I didn't realize I got a ferret as a package deal."

Michael: "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU CALLING A FERRET!?"

This has taken so long because I'm still undecided whether I wanna take a page outta SoSF and let Bianca live with the consequences of someone else dying on the TTC quest, but it would also change the entire trajectory of canon & I don't want to receive hate if I put Annabeth in the Hunters 😔 I wanted to add a secret detail and couldn't decide LMAO

Michael Yew

Michael Yew IS schrödinger's cat-- that's what makes him so tragic. to his friends and family, he is both dead and alive, until they find the body. sure, his chances of survival are dwindling into the hundredths digit now, but there is a chance, and no matter how small, someone is desperate enough to believe it.

Is it will solace, will, thirteen and oldest now? will solace, thirteen and in charge? will solace, thirteen and dragged away from the scene of his brother's death murder betrayal disappearance before he has any time to process?

or is it Jake Mason, Jake, fifteen and in love with a boy with short black hair, and eyes as blue as the sky on his favorite summer day, in love with a boy who disappears leaving but a trace-- a bow, quickly snatched up by a sibling, a quiver, left forgotten on a crumbled manhattan bridge (his siblings have lost too much to remember this), jake mason, who one minute has a best friend, and another minute has a statistic, a what-could-have-been, a tragedy?

is it both of them? both of them, grieving and mad, feeling abandoned by their siblings, their parents, and now, abandoned by michael himself-- perhaps they would prefer for him to be dead-- and yet, their hearts hold them captive, whispering, hold on, hold on, do you see this chance? do you see what might be? hold on, hold on, darling, and any second now he will walk through this door smiling.

anyway I just think his death is so interesting, so.

[pain-is-too-tired]

Thinking about the first time Michael starts to question his identity.

He's sitting with one of his cabin mates and a couple other campers who are talking about TV crushes. When they ask him what his were he just answers in confusion. He thought they were joking. Surely you can't feel all that about someone you don't even know?

The second time is listening to head counselors telling some of the myths around the campfire. Michael pays a bit more attention to the lover stories then before, again confused why so many gods go after someone the way they do.

The third time is about a year into his friendship with Jake. He noticed he'd been feeling different but he didn't think much of it. He figured it was anxiety given the poisoning of their tree and border.

But then Jake hugs him out of excitement one night after they won why on the same side in capture the flag. The other apologizes immediately for doing so suddenly, but Michael's too busy feeling like he's gonna melt into a puddle.

He immediately goes to Lee. Confused as he was absolutely certain he didn't have fever nor was sick.

Lee just can't help but laugh. Playfully teasing his brother about "having his first crush"

Michael has to stop and process that one for the next few days.

It doesn't help that Jake is such a clutz and always seems to be in the infirmary over some dumb thing, Michael can't avoid him.

He can't help but notice small details about Jake now then he had before, suddenly the feeling he's been having making somewhat more sense.

Lee finally convinces him to brave up and confess to Jake one night away from ears and eyes.

Jake nearly falls on the spot.

Apparently Jake's like Michael for awhile.

Michael explains his conflicted feelings to Jake, who tells him there's no problem in taking things by ear.

So, they start dating in secret why both are trying figure themselves out and ●♡●

Jake getting comfortable with being Unlabeled/Queer and Michael getting comfortable with being Demi.

Lee and Beckendorf are two the few that are aware of the relationship, both brothers 100% take any chance to tease the love birds.

Will's told for no other reason then he is attached to Michael's hip. Jake sees him as another younger sibling-

Though Will did threaten to send him to the infirmary if he hurts Michael- Jake's not sure how to feel about that.

[apollocabinrep]

More people shoulr be calling Michael Yew / Jake Mason sunforge. Like- it's actually genius and if it wasn't for @pain-is-too-tired I would have never seen the absolute beauty of it. THEYRE LITERALLY EGERYTJING TO ME (A lot of ships and platonic groups are atm but I'm chugging through it)

Petition to start using sunforge for Jake/Michael content as the default

i swear i've written this before but i can't find it anywhere SO

jake mason who falls in love with michael yew at the worst time. there's a war on, and people are dying, and he just can't control his feelings. michael's bad with words, but jake knows his feelings are reciprocated.

then michael's gone.

it happens fast. jake never gets to say goodbye. there's no body. he holds out hope that michael survived, just a little sliver of it, even long after the logical part of his brain has accepted the truth.

drew tanaka who looks up to a big sister who made the wrong choice. there's a war on, and drew clings to silena like her life depends on it. after silena's boyfriend dies, something changes about her, something deep down past the pain of losing a loved one, and drew doesn't know what to say, so she doesn't say anything at all. now, she thinks, maybe she could've stopped what happened next.

silena dies on a street in manhattan, and people call her a traitor. drew does, too, if only to protect herself. she looks up and sees herself in will solace, even younger than she is, suddenly a leader just like her.

drew takes all her fear and anger and sadness and puts it into ruling the aphrodite cabin because if she doesn't, she'll fall apart, and she can't do that.

will solace who loses both of his protectors in a year. there’s a war coming, and lee insists he’ll take care of them. will trusts him just like he always has.

lee doesn’t make it out of the maze.

but as much as that hurts it’s okay, because michael’s still around… until he isn’t. because then the war’s right on top of them, and a bridge collapses with michael on it. they never find a body. will’s too busy with his new duties as head counselor of the apollo cabin to get sorry about seeing his brother again.

when jake gets hurt, will solace, still only fifteen years old, stops by to check on him. after he's gone, drew tanaka comes and sits by jake's bed and tells him about her day. it's mostly complaints about her siblings and other campers and the stoll brothers, but she's funny, and she makes jake feel less alone.

jake expects it to stop when he gets better, but that first day he's able to get up and go out on the dock by himself, will and drew appear next to him. will insists on a check-up, and drew tells him that she thinks malcolm pace and connor stoll would like each other if only they could pull their heads out of their asses, and jake starts to smile like he hasn't since michael died.

jake's an old relic, the last surviving member of his friend group, but drew and will follow him around like ducklings. drew complains, and will gestures wildly through talks about healing and injury prevention and that cute hades boy. for some unknown reason they care about him, and jake couldn’t be more thankful.

for a while, despite their shared use of jake as a surrogate older brother, will and drew don’t get along. they’re terribly alike, jake thinks. maybe that’s why they dislike each other. but then one day when they’re following jake around as they do, drew complaining as always, it happens. drew’s going on and on about something jake’s sister nyssa did, and will howls with laughter halfway through a sentence. when drew looks at him incredulously he goes, “oh my gods. you like her, don’t you?” and drew stares at him slack-jawed before smacking him on the shoulder and screaming at him for saying such a thing. suddenly the two of them talk, and jake knows that will is right about drew’s crush.

jake hopes that somewhere, somehow, silena and lee and michael can see their siblings, can see how far they’ve come. maybe charlie is with them, watching jake. he hopes he’s making them proud.

at a campfire one night jake watches nyssa sit down next to drew and he meets will’s eyes across the circle. drew insists there’s nothing going on between them. “i thought you were a daughter of aphrodite,” will says, and as always drew huffs and pretends she didn’t hear him.

when malcolm and connor finally get together, drew drags will into the hephaestus cabin and spends about half an hour telling him and jake that she was right. will interrupts and says that according to nico who saw nyssa and drew behind the demeter cabin he was right too, and drew smacks him and leaves. “i’m still right,” will says, and he wanders off after drew.

jake has lost everyone, but he’s found another family. they’ll never replace his old one, but he’s finally begun to realize that they don’t need to.

[the1astolympian]

i am so passionate about pjo characters nobody else cares about

[zesty-pufferfish]

Me when someone asks me who my favorite character is from a piece of media and I say a character with exactly 13 minutes of and had a total of 7 lines

[mrsoftthoughts]

The ships of secondary characters in percy Jackson makes sense in my head, that's until i have to explain why i ship it

Idk man, what im supposed to say?? A lot of them have little screen (page??) time and barely interact , but somehow "The 4'6 temperamental Apollo kid x the Hephaestus kid that looks like a mummy " "The rock witch x the Jewish Hermes kid" "The Hermes kid that seems like a twin but isn't x The Dionysus kid that is actually a twin but now without his brother" ( and i didn't find a good one for alabaster and Ethan srry) Makes sense for me???

And ofc those ones are only the Easy ones to explain because other people made it, I just follow the vision

But then are the ones that are a result of my non-slepp scenarios and let me like "wtf i just created" Because til this day I'm asking my brain how the fuck it made up a love-hate pair bettwen Mf Alabaster Torrington and DREW TANAKA

Edit four months layer: Please add Will Solace x Drew Tanaka to the last section (though idk in what level of secondary character will fits if you exclude tsats tbh)
